Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 5 Project Chairman’s/Editor Message Another year has quickly passed, and as project Chairman, it is an honour and a privilege to present the 2019 edition, the 15th book in our Veteran Service Recognition Book (VSRB) series. All of these books are produced in an effort to honour, acknowledge and remember the contributions made by so many brave Canadians who have served, not only in times of war, but also during many peacekeeping and peacemaking missions. We also recognize and support those men and women who continue the proud tradition of service to Canada throughout the world in the Canadian Forces and the RCMP. In this, and future editions, we continue to feature extended stories and biographies of our Veterans, paying tribute to their wartime contributions and military experiences, as well as sharing historical newspaper articles recalling the more personal aspects of our Veterans’ service and sacrifices. We have also included a couple of stories featuring our NS/NU Command programs. I hope you enjoy them! As always, I offer my sincere thanks to all of the Legion branches and members of the general public who continue to support these publications by contributing biographies and photos. I would also like to thank the many businesses, groups and individuals who generously support these publications through advertising and through personal financial donations. I again, as always, wish to thank Fenety Marketing for their continued partnership and shared expertise in the production of these books. I would also like to recognize and thank Comrade Gary Siliker, CD, former member of 2RNBR (NS) and 40-year member of Mahone Bay Branch #049, for his outstanding contributions to this issue. In closing, we look forward to issuing the 16th edition of the VSRB series in the fall of 2020, and if you would like to contribute to the 2020 edition, please use the form at the back of this book and send it to our Command office. In Comradeship, Steve Wessel Project Chairman / Editor
